which would imply charging/staging stations scattered everywhere (very inefficient) in and around otherwise prime real-estate and by definition only realistically honored in high-density metro living. If 'within minutes' response time then it also follows there can't be congestion. Which means...
I believe there is a reg that requires something like 10 years of parts availability after warranty expiration, so we'll call it 15yrs? EV batts will evolve fairly rapidly so an ACDelco refurb/rebuilt EV pack will likely have vastly improved cells and control logic despite the 'case' looking the...
huh? we're talking EV adoption rates. How are any of the factors I listed NOT major influencers in those metrics? Another recent study found that people who buy EV drive only half as many annual miles as people who buy ICE. Living in major metro areas normally comes with lousy parking, easy...
extremely affluent areas where 'virtue signaling' is looked upon as a desirable social good. Break it down by household income, miles traveled per year, total cars owned by household, and political affiliation and I think you'll find it is HEAVILY skewed in one direction.
and as we've also seen in TX, (illegal) influx of population is already over-stressing the electric, water and sewer infrastructure, irrespective of pathologically STUPID decisions in regards to weather hardening.
Ford has 500lbs to burn before they get into Challenger territory so it's all good. Superchargers are an easy 100lbs, right? Nobody gets bent out of shape over that. And so what if they shove 150-200lbs of batteries under the rear seats. The car would be better balanced to boot.
it's really a crying shame the Mach1 (handling pack?) didn't come with the GT350 brakes. AWD will just be electric motors up front if it happens at all.
What is this? Aspiring to Kia-level quality control and engineering excellence?
(yes, I'm saying Ford can't even muster modern Kia level of fit/finish or engineering for durability)
it's a 'dead car walking' so really not surprising Ford mgmt would spend as little as possible. They need to milk the tooling and assembly line for all they're worth.

20-30kwh pack(s) and an in-line elec motor gives you no-ICE range of say 30 miles and lots of extra twist if you want it. Mat it up to a EB3.5 and hold on.
You can stuff one pack under the rear seat cushions and you get an improvement in weight balance and more rear traction to boot. I expect...
doubtful. the sensor is mounted on-axis and all of the sightlines to rotors are obstructed. I would guess suspension response and wheel/knuckle deflection is more likely. Though I would have thought mounting potentiometers on the shocks wouldn't be that hard. If it's MR maybe it's a validation...
options to get more buyers by any means necessary. The 3.5TT will have more torque and a wider band, the 5.0 will have more HP and the sound. Ford sells a butt load of 5.0 and 3.5TT in the F150 and nobody gives a damn which motor is "supreme" or the designated "top dog". Get real.
Could it...
